That was quick. It took less than 24 hours for the federal government to chew through a majority of the debt-ceiling magic money Congress approved earlier this week. This from the Washington Times: U.S. debt shot up $239 billion on Tuesday — the largest one-day bump in history — as the government flexed the new […]
This time in Alabama, where Eric Holder & Co. are again waging war against a state trying to enforce immigration law that the federal government refuses to tackle. This from Politico: Arguing that the federal government sets immigration policy, the Justice Department has filed a lawsuit to stop Alabama’s toughest-in-the-nation law before it takes effect […]
Let us thank the Tea Party. Finally, a group of representatives who stand up for the taxpayers and the American Way of Life. What they have done is historical and outstanding.

Let me see if I can make sense of President Obama’s debt policy for the United States. Oh, that’s right. Nothing makes sense from this President. While he is on TV discussing how concerned he is that America might default on the nation’s debt, it was only less than a year ago that he directed […]

President Gerald Ford, one of the greatest spending bill veto-wielding Presidents in the history of the American Republic, coined the phrase: ‘Our long national nightmare is now over’ when he […]
Fear is a very powerful emotion. Fear can paralyze you into inaction, or stampede you into doing things you would not ordinarily do. In certain situations fear can be beneficial; it can heighten your senses when you’re facing danger, stimulating the adrenalin necessary to survive or the sense to avoid the situation altogether.

The current debate over raising the federal debt limit brings into focus the brokenness of our “Rule of Law”, the United States Constitution. Never in the original design of the document were 536 citizen legislators (One President, 100 Senators, and 435 Representatives) intended to have the power to pass laws that would put our country […]
According to those who usually report on the employment reports put out by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, June wasn’t such a great month. Maybe not, but then, maybe so.
